✯Hello✯

↪  A satellite was crashed into a comet (on purpose of course)

↪  When it crashed a huge amount of water gushed out

↪  It was over hundreds of thousands of litres

↪  These proved that most of the water came from Comets for the world's first oceans

________ occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
Semenov [28]
The answer would be:
Precipitation sometimes occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
This happens when the air is forced to move from low elevation to high elevation due to rising terrain. This causes the air to cool adiabatically. This increases the relative humidity and causes clouds to form, under certain conditions it can also create precipitation.

A car which is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 6.5 m/s2 over a distance of 340 m. How fast is it
fomenos

Answer:68.15m/s

Explanation:

<u><em>Given: </em></u>

v₁=15m/s

a=6.5m/s²

v₁=?

x=340m

<u><em>Formula:</em></u>

v₁²=v₁²+2a (x)

<u>Set up:</u>

=\sqrt{15m/s} ^{2} +2(6.5m/s^2)(340m)

<h2><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>68.15m/s</em></u></h2>

A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg

frequency, f = 2.5 Hz

amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

The  angular speed is calculated as;

ω = 2πf

ω = 2 x π x 2.5

ω = 15.71 rad/s

(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;

E = ¹/₂kA²

E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²

E = 0.06 J

Can a solution be separated by filtration?​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered: the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue ) the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate )

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have N_s > N_p, so that V_s > V_p, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have N_s < N_p, so that V_s < V_p, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
